Bethany Announcements Mosquito Nets For the month of June,
we will be collecting donations to purchase mosquito nets for Malawi that save lives! This collection will include the VBS Offering that our kids contribute during Vacation Bible School! Each net costs $10. Together, we can make a difference!
June is Soap Month We are collecting soap for Lutheran World Relief. LWR accepts new bars of any brand soap, in its original wrapping. All bar sizes are accepted; however, bath-size bars and Fels-Naptha are highly preferred. Please place soap in the bin in the Narthex. All soap is sent on the LWR truck.

As Is: A Summer Preaching Series
The worship staff has designed a summer preaching series loosely based on the Peder Eide song “As Is.” Each week, we will take a closer look at one Bible character that was either labeled as imperfect or used an excuse to not be a part of God’s plan for them. We will focus on God choosing us and using us, exactly the way we are, to do great things in the world. "God has given each of us a Gift. Use them wisely to serve one another." --1 Peter 4:10 Consider these words as the deadline for the first $100 deposit for Mission Jamaica 2019 draws near. This payment insures a seat on the airplane and must be into the Bethany office by June 15. There is a full scholarship available. If you're interested in that, contact Lenae or Dave Sovacool at 715-790-0729.
